[Bug 923552] Re: no way to create logical volume within lvm

[Martin Pool]

here's the installer syslog

I'm not sure it will have  the info you need though, because the bug
leaves the install unable to complete.

It seems like the kind of thing that ought to be reproducible in a vm.

Title:
  no way to create logical volume within lvm

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I've just reinstalled my laptop using the precise alternative amd64
  snapshot from 2012-01-27.  I wanted to repartition the disk, and then
  have an lv on a vg on lusk within a partition.

  I chose "guided install with encrypted lvm", and I got a luks
  partition with lvm inside it, but it didn't have any logical volumes.
  (So, the install could not proceed since there was no root partition.)

  I tried again in manual mode and hit the same problem: after the vg
  was created, I could see it in the partitioner menu, but I couldn't
  see any way to create an lv within it.  When I pressed enter on the
  pv, or anything connected to it, I was just told "this is in use by
  $device_name and cannot be edited". (I forget the exact name, it was
  something like 'crypt_sda5'.)
